How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Noel's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Noel's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Noel or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Noel itself are excluded.
